A Tale Of Two Resorts

From Singapore to Ubud, Capella curates the travel experience they know you’ll love

- Katherine Arteche

The ability to curate is to carefully arrange a series or a collection that fits like a glove. It could be an assortment of watches, a gallery of sculptures, or a lineup of vintage cars — to be collated in a particular fashion that allows the recipient to get the story at first sight. And that is why Capella Hotels & Resorts has engaged its very own hospitality experts to design curated tourism experiences at each of its six locations — in Singapore, Ubud, Sanya, Dusseldorf, Bangkok and Shanghai. These experts are Capella’s Culturists, who design and host Capella Curates, a series of experiences that are uniquely aligned with the host location.

We experienced two of Capella’s Curates series in two locations that are on the opposing ends of the spectrum of a holiday retreat. Our first stop was Capella Singapore, a vast enclave located on Sentosa Island that boasts more than 150 rooms, which include villas and manors with their own private pools. The scenery changes when we hopped over to Capella Ubud, a luxurious tentage accommodation in the lush rainforest, and the philosophy is to follow a simple rule: love nature.
